Man learns casino losses not deductible
CALGARY, Alberta, Sept. 6 (UPI) -- Canada Post said it plans to resume mail delivery to about 150 homes, suspended due to an aggressive family of hawks.
Officials said delivery to the Bayview neighborhood of Calgary, Alberta, was suspended Aug. 26 after a mail carrier was repeatedly nose-dived by one of the birds, the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. reported Monday.
Adrean Wolvers, a spokesman for Canada Post, said the hawk eventually broke the mail carrier's bicycle helmet.
Wolvers said mail service will resume as soon as possible.
"We'll be having a relief employee come out and deliver the mail with a supervisor along with him to observe. At any point if the hazard gets too much, then it will be suspended again," Wolvers said. "Hopefully we can resume delivery next Tuesday."
